The Best Way to maroon
Want to create the perfect maroon color? It's actually pretty easy! Here are the main ways to make maroon:
- Mix Paint: Combine red and brown paint, or mix red with a tiny bit of blue and black. Add more red to make it brighter or more black/blue to make it darker.
- Digital Colors: If you're working on a computer, use these codes:
- RGB: Red=128, Green=0, Blue=0
- Hex Code: #800000
- Food Coloring: Mix red food coloring with a tiny drop of blue or black. Add drops slowly until you get the shade you want.
Pro tip: Remember that maroon is basically a darker, more sophisticated version of red. If your color is too bright, add more dark colors. If it's too dark, add more red!
